Table 4.

Risk factors associated with the presence of zoonotic enteric pathogens in different endpoints (environment, human at all age range, and children under-five) through the waterborne and environmental pathways in smallholders in LMIC.

Pathways Risk factors Endpoints (pathogen reservoir)&* References
Waterborne Use of untreated water for household cleaning activities Environment: fecal indicator E. coli (A/Z) in households (219)
Poor access to safe drinking water Human: intestinal parasite infection (A/Z) (208)
Environmental Household crowding Human: intestinal parasite infection (A/Z) (208, 212)
Poor garbage disposal manner Human: Cryptosporidium spp. infection (A/Z) (221)
CU5: symptomatic Campylobacter spp. infection (Z) (205)
Exposure to contaminated floor (pathogen-positive) in household CU5: Campylobacter spp. infection (Z) (200)

Endpoints related to zoonotic enteric pathogen infection driven by the risk factors are characterized at the following levels: (1) Environment: presence of zoonotic enteric pathogens in the environment in/around a household (e.g., soil, water, food, fomites); (2) Human: (a)symptomatic zoonotic enteric pathogen infection in humans of all ages; (3) CU5 (children under five): (a)symptomatic zoonotic enteric pathogen infection in CU5.
